I don't really hang out with much people outside of school, so I guess the answer would be no.

Yeah, at least with the few card games that we do know how to play xD

You should, there are some pretty cool people out there.

I know. /facepalm. I definitely need to get a life.

24, Big 2, and Bridge. The rest of the names I don't know the English names, so this is all literally translated: 40 Points and Hunting Pig (?? rofl ).

I've only heard of bridge. And I'm guessing 40 points and Hunting pig probably has a more normal name. q:

Speaking of translating, could you do me a favor?

40 Points seems pretty normal to me :'D

Hmm, I'll see what I can do. What is it?

I had to check my handy dandy dictionary, but the character is pronounced "hui". Like "huay", where the "hu" sounds like "who," and the "ay" is like the ay in "bay." Just make sure to blend the two sounds into one. It's tough to explain how the inflection/intonation goes with it, but I searched for an online audio pronunciation thing, and found one here: [x]. It might take a while for the audio to kick in, so don't have your volume set too high, 'cause it'll seriously scare you.

If you take just one of those characters, then it means to draw or to paint. I don't think there's such phrase where you can double up the character like in the image you have, because my dad said such a term didn't exist.

Hope that helped? /also wondering where you got that image from.

Interesting....For starters, I knew how to pronounce it already. And I knew it had something to do with painting (paint the country, or country painter) but I wanted to know for sure what it meant. Anyway, that's my Chinese name that the hospital gave me and I didn't know what it meant all these years. And I think that's supposed to be my first name.

To get the picture I just scanned a piece of paper that had my name on it.

o: That's a cute name. It's also possible that it might be a nickname. Like my Chinese name is technically "li wei", but all of my Chinese relatives just call me "wei wei."

Thanks. I have no idea if it's a nick nae or not but I have a stamp thingy carved out of stone that has the same thing on it. I think it's for signatures or something?

Oh, yeah, a seal. Those things are quite cool ^^ You're right about it being used for signatures and such. I have one too, but I can never find mine ^^;

Have you ever used it before?

Not like officially. Even in China I think the use of seals is waning.

Oh, well it's still a nice souvenir or whatever.

Yup. Plus it's kind of fun when you realize it's quite tough writing your name backwards and reversed.
